Event Details
The next Orienteering meeting will be on Saturday 25th January 2025 at Shewalton Sandpits Wildlife Reserve, Irvine, by kind agreement of the Scottish Wildlife Trust.
This is a new map. It is a tiny Reserve split by a main road. Because of the small size of the site, we will use an unusual map scale of 1 to 3000.
We plan to have two standards of course, Yellow and Short Green. The Yellow might approach Orange in difficulty in places. We will have a short course in each half of the Reserve and then blend the results to give a final, overall, time.
The Reserve is on Shewalton Road at the south end of Irvine,

There is a business called “Westcoast Sheds” signposted at the west end of the Road, at the junction with the A737 Ayr Road.
Shewalton Road is a cul-de-sac with a small industrial estate at the far end. If you are travelling by car and the small Reserve carpark is full, please go to the end of the road, do a U turn, and come back and park in a line down the pavement side of the road without blocking any of the gates. There is a bus stop by the road junction, see Traveline Scotland for bus times.
The nearest toilets available are the public toilets at the Harbour or at one of the nearby supermarkets.
£2 individual, £5 family
